La (Saint) Jean is a pale Belgian style, farmhouse ale. This self-proclaimed 'petite saison' is brewed with Pilsener and wheat malts, hopped with Slovenian Bobek hops and fermented with a blend of Belgian yeasts to almost complete dryness. Bottle conditioning using a krausen of young fermenting wort results in a highly effervescent beer adding to the quenching nature of the style.

Bottled at TNOD(U)RBSG2016. Hazy golden, rich coarse head. Fruity nose with some hay and marzipan. Dry with light-medium body and dense, spritzy mouthfeel. Dough and hay, notes of red berries. Spicy mid bitter finish. Harmonious.

Hell hefiger, passend trocken herber Antrunk. Etwas brotig, dann wässrig werdend. Insgesamt rund aber etwas langweilig. 12/8/8/7/8/8
